UP NEXT AT BCT!
CLue: High school edition
By Alex Ungerman
Directed by Tramelle Shambray
June 23rd - 26th, 2022
Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie, which was inspired by the classic Hasbro game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out... WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!
